This will be redundant for some others that have seen a thread I have in the 1911 forum. But be that as it may, I'm curious as to where you all put your trigger fingers when racking the slide, doing malfunction drills, etc etc. Anytime you're not firing.
Doesn't matter to me what kind of pistol you have, still interested in what you do. ETA: can you list what pistols you use also?? Thank you..

Along the frame. On my 1911, the little tit of the take down lever is a nice reference point. On my glock it is more or just moving up towards the slide.

In the barrel. That way if the gun accidentally goes off the gun just explodes and nobody gets hurt. I saw it on tv which means its true.

I extend my trigger finger forward, and don't consciously try to touch the frame for charging and mag reloads with a pistol (my competition pistols is a G34), I do when shooting my AR, naturally when using the right side mag release...... when moving with the pistol, I move my finger up higher, to the side of the slide

Along the frame, above the trigger, usually light contact on the bottom edge of the slide, or cylinder.
Any handgun. |

Thanks guys, that's where it seems most natural for me to and trying to go onto the trigger guard just feels all wrong and too close to the trigger for me.

Slightly curled along the frame above where the trigger is. Straight drop down to get into the trigger guard. No problems pushing the slide release out from the opposite side.

So you're saying your finger indexes the frame behind the slide stop nub, eh? That seems way unnatural to me. My finger is like bent 90 degrees to do that. Well maybe not that much but feels like it. |

Yup, curled along the frame above the trigger. I have short fingers to begin with. I think I read about it from Massad Ayoob years ago? The straight finger works, but I like the slightly curled because I drop my finger straight down into the trigger guard instead of having to curl my finger and drop it down into the trigger guard. May help those with long fingers not hit the front of the trigger guard when dropping their finger down and in to the trigger guard. It takes a little to get used to it, but I've been doing it for 12 years now, so it doesn't feel awkward to me at all.
